AI Risks Fuel Identity Security Focus: Mexico Cyberattacks Soar

Identity security is now a major focus as AI risks increase. Mexico recorded 3,548 weekly cyberattacks per organization in April 2026, a 4% rise from the previous year. This makes Mexico the top target in the region ahead of the FIFA World Cup. In response, Incode Technologies acquired Identiq for US$100 million. This deal aims to strengthen fraud prevention with privacy-centric identity technology, allowing organizations to share fraud signals without exposing customer data. Meanwhile, Anthropic restored access to Fable 5, implementing stronger AI safeguards after US export controls were lifted. This move followed negotiations and includes new safety measures and a proposed framework for AI jailbreaks. The bottom line: robust identity security is becoming crucial for businesses to combat evolving AI-driven threats and comply with privacy regulations.
